oh boy.. drouin back to center? i think he'll leave again if that's the case.

They literally have no choice unless they put Perreault there! Might as well give Drouin his 3rd chance, I suppose.

yea not a lot of options for the habs. bozak might be a better option at this point.

Buffalo declines, we aren't trading Eichel for 3 non-lottery picks and 2 2nds that are so far down the line we'd be waiting until 2027 to see those players.

They targeted Kotkaniemi because of his potential and the situation. The 1 year offer is a good one in order to make it a viable offer sheet. After that, they decided to have some fun with it and troll Montreal. They didn’t do the deal to troll them.

He's not close to being worth what they are paying even forgetting the salary! Dom has him as a good future 3rd line center ala Lars Eller

Buffalo needs scorched earth otherwise Arizona will definitely be ahead of the Sabres in their rebuild.
Very few teams if any have a need for Eichel with cap space (teams like LA with Byfield, Danault and Kopitar are out) and 3 1st rounders in the next 2 years.
No one is giving up guaranteed 3 lottery picks because that is impossible to guarantee.

because Dom is always right? And at the same time, in his own article he had projections from 1C to 4C, Dom settled on good 3C. That is, meaningless.

It was an example, calm down
